In my video I am showing how to and how NOT TO make a concrete pumpkin. I love the way these concrete pumpkins turned out. I hope you enjoy and go check out everyone else's DIY. I am so excited to see what we have all made.

[@CluelessMamaD]

I was suppose to show fall placemats for this. Ooh I’ve never worked with cement. Smart to put the twine out first. 😂😂😂 it’s too hard to film and do that quick. I’m worried you’re hands are going to turn to stone lol love how they turned out

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Thanks girl xx really enjoyed this one xxx ❤❤❤❤

[@ozziebar]

I love these pumpkins and have been making them for years. Just a tip..if you have a Dremel, a fairly cheap tool, you can use the little sanding wheels and sand the string right out of the crevices and any bits of the stocking. You did a great job!

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

heyyyy Ozziebar .. that is such a great tip thank you ! I do have a dremel yes .. will for sure be trying that x

[@resinAce]

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Girl 😍😍😍 I cant either !

[@Thrifting_CraftingwithChrista]

Oh those are so cool! Love that you added the Fail, shows that you have to act quickly when using this product! They look fabulous! Not sure if you are into tablescapes, but I have a collab video to do a Mad Hatter Tea Party Tablescape! I would love to see what you could create for it! Anyways, thanks for sharing and have a fabulous weekend!

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Hey thanks so much CK ! Yeh that fail had me near crying 🤣🤣 just left it too long and boy oh boy was it hot ! I absolutely am into table scapes and the mad hatter is such a cool theme !) ha I'm back to work Monday after the summer and will have little time 😥😥😥.. but please let me know of any other future collabs x I love collabs they are so much fun ! Xxx keep me posted hunee ❤❤❤

[@MykeLyfe]

I love these Claire! Wow...how satisfying to watch the unveiling Process. And I love your fail!! It reminds us that you’re human, even though we all know you’re practically perfect in every way. Ha ha ha I need to start playing with concrete. Much love ❤️❤️

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

So glad you love them Boo ❤❤ so happy with these 😍😍 and yeh I swore a little lol but figured if people use this stuff they need to know how fast it sets ! Haaaaa 😘😘😘

[@Brenda-zg5go]

Oh I love these. They turned out amazing!! Great DIY and fantastic video as always. Love that you left the fail in, it really makes these videos when you see that sometimes things don't always go to plan, but we learn from it and try again 😀. Well done on creating such beautiful pumpkins and for sharing your DIY with us.

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Thankyou so much Brenda .. yes the fail was tear jerking 🤣🤣🤣 but I acted super fast on the next one xxx so glad you liked this .. I love the results xxx ❤❤❤❤

[@edlake1312]

Those are amazing!!! I think you could cut most of the exposed string off with a razor knife or exacto knife. I think you could buy a concrete that doesn't set so quickly and find the proper mix to give you a bit more time.😊

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Thanks Ed, so glad you like these also... a concrete that takes longer to set would be great for sure !

[@mariannesutherland4894]

Love thee pumpkins. They would look cool painted while or cream with a brown antique stain, specially where the strings were.

[@FABEDhacks]

Hello! New sub here. I came over from Myke's channel. I had to see who inspired the fabulous WHERE CLAIRE series! Just LOVE these cement pumpkins! They came out AMAZING! Great, creative technique to make them too. And I just loved (and can completely relate to) your written commentary as the process took a turn south. Why is it that, especially when working with one shot mediums like cement, the trial always goes smoothly and as soon as you try to put it on film, things start to go amiss?!?! Well I'm glad it turned out so well in the end. Beautiful!! 😊😊👏👏👏💗💗

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

How amazing thank you so much for coming over ! That means so much . . Love MyKE so much ! He is my go to guru for energy and positivity ❤❤ so glad you came .. and it's always the way isnt it ? Of course the air was a little blue 🤣🤣 couldn't believe it when it set rock solid so fast but it's such an easy mistake to make so figured I'd leave it in to help others xx so glad you're here thankyooooo

[@stunningmisadventures]

This is such a unique idea! I have never seen anything like this before! Also, thank you for being vulnerable and showing the real process of making these.

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Thank you so much SM ... it's definitely an idea that is out there on you tube and pinterest xx I cannot claim it as my own lol 😁 and yeh I was almost screaming when it went wrong ... but I often go wrong ! Haaaaaa

[@shirley0151]

I love that you kept your first attempt on here. Nothing in nature is perfect, so it gives them a nice realistic touch not being perfect. For outdoor use what paint would you use ?

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Thank you so much xx these were my absolute favs ! Xxx I would use an outdoor acrylic paint ... I dont have any out door paints but im sure there are tonnes out there xx

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Or paint with normal paint ... and add an outdoor varnish xxx

[@annettem6129]

Hi! I'm a new subscriber, these are too cute! I've had a box od cement in my crafts for months, now I know what I'm making!! LOL 😘🌻🍁🎃

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Hey Annette thanks so much for subbing x great to have you here ! Xx and yes yes do it ! Move fast though 🤣 x learn from my mistake xx

[@createwithpolymerclay8477]

These turned out amazing. Love them, I will check out the other members for sure. Had a good laugh with the first one. So glad you added it to the video :)

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Thanks so much CL ❤❤ so glad you liked it .. yeh I was nearly crying lol couldn't believe it when it just went solid so fast haaaa Lisa's video is due out in like 6 mins ... I messed up the time for her please make sure you check hers too lol x I feel so bad !

[@CraftyDecorbyToni]

Oh my days Claire these are absolutely gorgeous I'm defiantly going to have to give this a go love love love them Xxxx

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

Very cool!!!!

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Thanks so much lovely xxx really enjoyed making these ... when it went right ! 🤣🤣🤣

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

*lol!* yeah. =) it’s cool that you showed the “Failed” attempt too, though. =)

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

@@PhoebesWorldProductions totally think I need to let everyone know how not to do stuff too ! X 🤣🤣

[@PhoebesWorldProductions]

*LOL!* yeah... it's important too. ;)

[@Crystal-be9ze]

You could just burn the string I don’t think it would harm the concrete, they turned out amazing

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Thankyoooo so much that is a genius idea 😍😍😍😍

[@malva4838]

Those are cute! Fun to see how each of you have different methods for them. Do you think you could burn the leftover string? Or would that effect the concrete? I came to yours from Chelsea's via Dainty Dress Diaries

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Hey Mikka thanks so much for coming over to say hello... you totally can burn the string off ... I burned it however... it blackened the concrete around the area so I didn't like it at all x it's just proper hard not to get them stuck in there lol x

[@Katbice]

can u use quickrete mix

[@ClairesCraftyCorner]

Hey Kathy .. I would say yes .. if it is quick set then should work well
